The Nismo kit looks excellent, some may say it's boring but it's personal taste, I like it as well.
and thanks for bringing some more colour to the forum
Nice thread, glad you all enjoyed your Saturday, could've been worse, you could've been DIY'ing at your other half's
Sunday was worse though, all I'm saying right now is NEVER go to the Nissan Stealer (KJM) in Reading, I'll post a thread on it tomorrow...
Oh and
Does a CV Joint still make sense when it seems better with the power down but really bad idle-ing?
I've booked it in with Protech (specialist near Bristol) for their diagnosis on Monday, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
hmm, well it's noisy in a straight line, seems ok in reverse though. It's a really horrible noise too, I'll try and record it onto a movie clip. Any idea what else it might be?
Just took the car to the local stealer to check out the noise from my nearside rear wheel and they reckon that it's a wheel bearing failure. It sounds a lot worse when the powers NOT being put down so that sounds consistent with a wheel bearing failure to me but I believe that the CV Joint failure is a lot more common. I'm not a mechanic but I believe that the CV Joint is part of / linked to the drivetrain so that should be ruled out by this, is that correct?!
I'd be starting with this lineup now when everyone's fit:
James
A. Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Richards
J. Cole, Carrick, Gerrard, Wright-Phillips
Rooney, Agbonlahor
An arm AND a leg!
JDM Performance did a kit for this at reasonable money IIRC. Worth giving Chris a PM.
This link might help you as to how it should be done :

So can I get away with just having the CV joint re-greased then? Should this fix it temporarily / indefinitely / permanently?
Sorry for re-starting a 2006 thread but I think I'm suffering from the dreaded clicking rear axle, only on the left side though, does anyoen know how much a stealer is likely to charge me to get this fixed?
to the club!
Sounds like a fair price but short of seeing the car in person it's hard to tell, like Martin says read the buyers guide and feel free to ask some questions, there's some very knowledgable (and helpful!) people on here.
PS. what colour is it?!
That's great news, not so sure about old square jaw though. He always strikes me as being a little dull and matter-of-face, he could prove me wrong though...
